TASTING NOTE:

The name is a French expression "for my gob", a term used to describe a stash of wine for the producer to drink with friends and family. It is a beautiful dark ruby-red in colour with violet highlights. Outstanding fruit with a noseful of red berries, black cherry, black pepper and a hint of violet. The aromas follow through on the palate, with fresh black and red fruit and revealing a lush, full-bodied wine. The mid-palate is round and velvety with very fine tannins, and excellent acidity enhances its liveliness and balance.
